Chocolate Chip Cookies

My favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe is a large batch.  I don't need that many cookies beckoning me to eat them.  The solution:  scoop cookie dough and freeze for instant cookies another day.  Fresh homemade cookies without any fuss or mess.
I bake about 3-4 dozen and freeze another 3 dozen dough pieces.  Scoop onto a pan, freeze for 30 minutes or more, then place in a freezer bag to save for another day.  I recommend using the frozen cookie dough within 6 months, not really a problem for me.  Frozen dough takes about 3 extra minutes to bake, or can be thawed and baked as per the recipe.

FYI:  Make someone happy, share a bag of frozen cookie dough!
